Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a centralized network analytic device, the centralized network analytic device efficiently uses on-chip memory to flexibly perform counting, traffic rate monitoring and flow sampling. The device includes a pool of memory that is shared by all cores and packet processing stages of each core. The counting, the monitoring and the sampling are all defined through software allowing for greater flexibility and efficient analytics in the device. In some embodiments, the device is a network switch.
